Abandoned Vermont and New Hampshire: Forgotten in the Mountains - Paperback

by Marie Desrosiers (Author)

Explores forgotten cottages, camps, and farmhouses hidden in rural mountain landscapes.

Abandoned Vermont and New Hampshire: Forgotten in the Mountains brings readers on a trip through the winding roads of mountainous areas where understated abandonment is crumbling in the small, rural areas that often get overlooked. Along these roads, tucked away in the woods, you'll often find cottages and camps where families once gathered for vacations, or hunters sat in front of a woodstove after a long day, but all that remains now are layers of dust and perhaps a few field mice scurrying around to break up the silence. If you pay close enough attention on your trip through the mountains, you'll catch glimpses of cars and trucks that haven't moved in years, hidden behind tall, overgrown grass and weeds. Through the photographs in this book, you'll see once bustling family vacation areas, now still and forgotten, quietly holding all the memories that were made there. As to be expected in rural, mountain farm towns, you'll also see remnants of farmhouses, in various states of decay. History and lore, passed down for generations, can be found on these roads, and shared through these photographs and stories, that will hopefully live on for generations to come.
